Time and Reality

Time and Reality began with a vivid dream in which my grandson Jax was suffocated by a sheet of plastic.The question that arose, in my horror and panic over the situation was, “How can I bring him back?”

The answer came with the breath of resuscitation and the ensuing reversal of time.

By painting this dream I faced, in my imagination, the unthinkable possibility that the world we have created is already uninhabitable for my grandsons.

The veils emerged. He is trapped in a web that has spun itself around him.But, his gaze is piercing and focused, and the veils become more and more permeable.I see the veils as constructs of time and space that control and limit possibilities.I also see them, in this painting, as dissolving.His gaze, one of authority and sovereignty stands as a testimony of who is is, as his history and future, but more than anything, present in the now.This is what dissolves the veils.
